Who Should I Start? Tyler Badie or Eric Gray

Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie has had a very minimal role in Denver's backfield this year, but he could see more touches in the weeks ahead. Lead back J.K. Dobbins (foot) suffered a foot injury in last Thursday night's win over the Las Vegas Raiders and is now a candidate to land on Injured Reserve, which would knock him out for at least four games. The 25-year-old Badie would most likely become the RB2 for the Broncos behind rookie RJ Harvey if Dobbins misses extended time, and he's currently owned in 0% of Yahoo leagues. The former sixth-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2022 out of Missouri will be more attractive as a depth RB in point-per-reception leagues, as he's already caught a career-high 10 passes for 87 yards in nine games this year. Jaleel McLaughlin, who has been a healthy scratch for most of the season, would bump up to the RB3 role if Dobbins goes on IR.

According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, New York Giants running back Eric Gray is likely to be the odd man out in the team's running back room after the organization selected former Arizona State ball carrier Cam Skattebo in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. New York is likely to keep three running backs on the 53-man roster, and Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary are favorites to lock up those spots. Gray was a fifth-round pick out of Oklahoma in the 2023 NFL Draft and has racked up just 79 rushing yards and 31 carries, and 104 receiving yards on 16 receptions in 30 career games. While he could get a shot with another team, his early-career resume suggests he won't be on the fantasy football radar anytime soon. He is a safe drop in dynasty formats.
